I just planted golden flax seed from my local natural food store. I was actually interested primarily in trying to process it by hand for fiber, which might be more work than it’s worth. But it’s kind of a hobby experiment.

Germinated quickly, after sowing in mid-February, 2018. Now, in March, have tiny plants with their secondary leaves. We’ll see how they develop over time. I am in southern New Mexico, so it will be very hot this summer.

It will not be a problem to harvest the seed pods, since their removal is part of the process before breaking the stems and combing out the fiber.
